A Midland man was arrested Tuesday after allegedly entering a residence without the consent of the owner and assaulting two people, according to court documents.

Jesse Clyde Tollison Sr., 68, was being held Wednesday on a $75,000 bond for a first-degree felony charge of burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit another felony, a $20,000 bond for a third-degree felony charge of assault of a family/house member with previous convictions, a $50,000 bond for a second-degree felony charge of assault against a peace officer and a $500 bond for a Class A misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest.

A Midland police officer was dispatched at about 10:10 p.m. Tuesday in reference to a disturbance.

Tollison knocked on the door of a residence before an occupant told him to leave, according to his arrest affidavit. Tollison then pulled on a locked screen door forcefully, causing it to open, according to the affidavit.

Tollison allegedly walked into the residence and later pushed a woman against a TV stand, causing her pain. He was convicted in 2008 of family violence – assault causes bodily injury, according to the affidavit.

Tollison later allegedly didn’t cooperate with a police officer’s verbal and physical commands. He also repeatedly struck the officer across the face, causing him to develop a laceration, according to the affidavit.

If convicted of the first-degree felony charge, Tollison could face up to life imprisonment. He could also face up to 20 years imprisonment for the second-degree felony charge and up to 10 years imprisonment for the third-degree felony charge.
